Hi there! New to dating, and even newer to this online thing. I haven't been a bachelor for a long time and I'm not natural with writing stuffs about myself so please bear with me... I was raised in Virginia in the traditional southern gentleman manners. I haven't tipped my hat to ladies in awhile but still feel compel to open doors. Now, I'm an officer in the military...An Officer and A Gentleman? Have I just dated myself? If you know the reference then I guess I've reached the appropriate demographic :) At work I'm expected to take lead but at play I'm pretty goofy. Generally, I think I'm as easy-going a guy as they get. I'm pretty mellow, not because I don't care, but more so because I don't let the negative stuffs get under my skin. Life too short, time too precious not to enjoy it. Over the years I've learned to be more compassionate and forgiving. If you're a defendant on trial, you'd probably want me on the jury. More often than not, I'm led by my heart & intuition rather than other forces. My best virtue: humility. My worst vice: smokin-n-drinkin, about to kick the 1st, the 2nd, not so much... (pun intended). My most valuable possession: relationship with my daughter. My priorities: family, happiness, health I'd like to meet and get to know new friends (far and near) to share in life's experiences and to shape what lies ahead... Hope to hear from you...
